Re: Re: film trailer footage/ public domain

Warrant of non-infringement of the SOLD COPY maybe. But that is NOT a warrant of non-infringement of any NEW copies made by the purchaser. The sale could have been legit without a transfer of any right to make additional copies. This is a BIG difference.
